BLACKSTONE – Blackstone’s first retail cannabis shop has officially opened its doors at 1 Lloyd St., and employees say they’re anticipating a busy first few weeks as customers rush to check out the new store.
DDM Cannabis, located approximately behind the Bellingham Stop & Shop, held a soft opening last Friday, Feb. 5, with a larger grand opening planned for this week. Owner Victor Patel said customers have been knocking on the doors to find out when the store would open.
